My Elf on the Shelf and the Broken Gingerbread House caper

She's There

Cold, crumbled, leaves fall slowly

limbs blowing bristly
chills in the air
hollow calls calling
echoing like an emptiness
emotions departed
beautifully desolate shell
numb and unwilling
to care
hardened indifference
blossoming in the warm spring air

Forever Dying Within

Sorrow's melting
tear stains lost
open wounds piercing
shadows mourn

black shrouds circling
closing in
dancing madness
raging within

suffocating misery
never amenable
nothing but carnage
holding within

Midnight Cry's

Silent cry's in the night
Heard from a distance
Agony pierced deep within
Like a knife cut deep inside
Blood drips and falls to the ground
Life has no more meaning
Numb inside she walks to the mountain top
Looking over the cliff she breathes in the air
Falling, gently, sweetly down with arms open wide
The water splashes as she begins to drift slowly, downstream.
Trying not to feel, trying to forget
She's swimming, She's swimming to life.

A Reapers Heart Break

Pain bleeds my blood-filled heart
Killing me slowly
Wanting me to die
Cry's of hell escape my lips
No one to listen
No one to care.
Dying a little with each cut to my hand
I cry, and I die
Sucking the life out of my own soul
Drained and empty
walking numb in the park
Crumble to the ground
Not able to move
Just crying and dying
Dying to what once was
Dying to gain it back again
Dying to be dead.

Obsession

Obsession

Cuddled and warm
Is my love for you
safe and unkept 
I wait patiently
for one drop of you
to touch my tongue
I cry awake at night
longing wanting, wanting you
I pine for you
I yearn for your touch
My loins call for you in the midnight hour
each night I see your face
Think of touching those sweet lips
The way your hair lays in waves
surrounding your face
embracing my heart
Your voice how it sounds
in my ears
The tone you speak in
The look in your eye
drives me wild
Passion burns my loins.
when I think of you,
I want to fuck
You touch me, me touching you
Scream for me
Scream for me now
How I want you in my bed
in my mind
in my body
in my soul,
in my life
uncontrollable wild passion
that cannot be tamed
consumed by you
not able to think or sleep
with only thoughts of you to keep me company
I live for you. I die for you
I breathe for you
I moan for you
You are
My Obsession

Engulfed in Nightfall

Darkness arises, spreading evil like a veil. She walks in darkness laughing.
She is not at home here. She used to be, but now it's just an evil place.
Hope lives here no longer. It escaped through an open window in the night air.

Smell the excitement, death awaits. Run to the song
Run to its embrace. Dance in the midnight hour
Let it go. Move to sway of the music
entrance yourself

Live no longer under its a spell, but your own.
Hear the sound of the demons?
Their calling, calling your name
listen to them

The sound is sweet
They know you here
They want you to come back home

Home where night never ends
home where shadows live
home where you belong
You belong in the darkness
